Protecting your saddle?

Alright, so I know which uni I'm getting... now I have to ask, for
learners, what's a good temporary way to protect your saddle? I'd
rather not destroy it if I can avoid it, what's a good way to protect
it temporarily when I know I'm going to be falling a lot?

What kind of saddle? KH/Velo? Torker LX? Something else?

I'm guessing it will be the KH saddle that comes on the nimbus 2 uni
from UDC

maybe put duct tape on the front handle and back bumper. that might help
a bit. other than that, try learning in a gym or in a carpeted area.
also, practise catching the uni when you fall.



Haha, that's what I figured. I'm going to be practicing inside on the
carpet before I move onto the concrete, so I'll be doing a lot of
attempted catches.

Riding on carpet kinda sucks, like sometimes it grabs the tire and pulls
you down, its a lot smoother on concrete. Practice to catch your uni on
all fall, but your uni will get scratched up anyways, and from tiny
falls from learning, everything will be fine.

If your worried about actually breaking the seat, don't worry, their is
almost no chance you'll break the bumpers for a lllooooooooooooonnng
time.

you might want to purchase 'these'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=923) for your pedals.
they help keep them from getting scratched, and eventually broken.
thsts only if the pedals are metal though. if their plastic your fine.

Inexpensive and protective. I can definately deal with that. I'll get
these when I buy my Nimbus, then.
